New Jersey is not a destination
Mad Magazine cover story of yore:
“I got lost in Patterson New Jersey!”
Sam Colt’s first maufacturing venture with local NJ bankers backing him started in Patterson, NJ
After they ripped Sam off he tried Whitney in Whitneyville, CT
A year of that mess and Sam set up his own plant in Hartford, CT
Sounds like too many ‘cooks in the kitchen’ in New Jersey to get things done right judging from other comments in the article.
Interesting about Colt, you would know all about that!
